Supporters rally for passage of Colorado civil-unions bill

A passionate and riled-up crowd stood on the west steps of the state Capitol today and urged the Republican-controlled House to allow debate on a civil-unions measure, chanting "Let them vote!"

The bill is scheduled to be heard this afternoon by the House Appropriations Committee, and then head to the floor where GOP leadership will decide whether it will be called up for debate. If it is not heard today on the House floor, Senate Bill 2 is dead.
